Sources Sought Rare Earth Magnets
Solicitation # New_Rare_Earth_Magnets_TYAD_Sources_Sought
The Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground, Tobyhanna Division, is conducting a Sources Sought notice to identify capable manufacturers of commercial-grade rare earth magnets. These magnets are critical components for Brushless Direct Current motors used in small uncrewed aircraft systems. The government is specifically seeking Neodymium magnets in Grade N52SH or N42SH, featuring triple-layer Nickel-Copper-Nickel plating for corrosion resistance and radial magnetization in alternating polarity configurations. The objective is to ensure operational reliability and full supply chain transparency from raw material extraction to final assembly. This is an informational request for market research and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a promise to issue a Request for Proposal. The government is using this process to determine its procurement strategy, including whether to set the requirement aside for small businesses or pursue full and open competition, with the possibility of making multiple awards. Interested respondents must submit a capability statement package in bullet format, limited to ten pages, by October 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST. Submissions must include company profile data, manufacturing capacity, supply chain logistics, and quality control processes, specifically regarding the testing of magnetic properties and plating adhesion.
